Damice Burns Damice Burns 5'11" | MB/OH La Vega | 2027 TX , a Class of 2027 middle blocker from La Vega High School in Bellmead and Waco Juniors Volleyball Club, is the kind of player from a smaller market who shows up in a bigger setting and immediately makes people wonder why they had not heard her name sooner. Miss Burns plays with an athleticism and explosiveness at the net that creates real problems for opposing offenses and her willingness to compete on both sides of the ball makes her more than just a one-way front row piece. Her footwork and lateral movement through the system are advanced for her class, and the way she stays engaged and active across all six rotations rather than checking out in the back row tells you the volleyball IQ and the competitive drive are both genuinely present. She has developed her game in an athletic culture at La Vega that has produced state championships across multiple sports and demands a standard of preparation and effort that carries over directly to the volleyball court. Damice is a middle blocker from the Waco market who deserves a much wider recruiting audience and college programs that get out to see her will be glad they made the trip. Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our Official Watch List. 

Miss Burns is currently an unranked prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but is on our official Watch List.  She plays for La Vega High School and also plays for the Waco Juniors volleyball club.  When you have a player who can not only play multiple positions at the net, but take over matches on both ends of the floor, it will definitely make college coaches look twice.  That is exactly what happened with Miss Burns as she stood out for a couple of reasons.  This young lady is blessed with great height, awesome power, solid vertical, and length in her extremities that make her dangerous at the net.  She uses those long arms very well by attacking the ball at the true peak of her reach.  It makes it very difficult for anyone to time her attack.  On top of that great contact point is a high vertical that allows her to take her time to see the block in front of her and swing around or over it to score.  Based on what we saw from her production, I think there are a few college coaches who need to put her name down on their list of players to keep their eye on in her grad class.  She is not done getting better and could be an asset in the future.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award at this showcase.
